BSR steps up research into green hydrogen-based fuels in Vietnam
In Vietnam, Vietnam Investment Review reported that Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical JSC (BSR) is partnering with the German Development Agency (GIZ) to assess the potential of green hydrogen-based synthetic fuels to support Vietnam’s decarbonization goals.
Under their partnership, BSR and the German Development Agency (GIZ) will jointly research and develop a project for producing synthetic fuels like e-SAF or e-methanol to meet the rising demand of new fuels in the future, according to the report.
The project by BSR and GIZ is currently at the pilot stage, with a focus on research and technology demonstration. The two sides will assess technology based on its potential for practical application and scalability, rather than immediate commercial deployment.
Tran Hai Ninh, general director of BSR Innovation Center, said, “Vietnam has significant biomass potential, with abundant raw materials including rice straw, husks, and wood waste. This creates opportunities to combine agriculture and energy to develop a new value chain while supporting the production of low-carbon fuels.”
“The wider application of these fuels in the aviation and maritime sectors would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to Vietnam’s long-term decarbonization efforts,” he added.
